Within advanced ICE technologies, engine downsizing, turbocharging, optimized cooling, low friction, start-stop systems, electric power steering, direct injection, and variable valve timing will likely lead. BCG expects these to be mainstream across most passenger-car segments in all major markets. Source: BCG. Click to enlarge.
A new generation of low voltage micro-hybrid technologies in vehicles could allow existing engine technology and transmission combinations to be downsized and support significant reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Controlled Power Technologies and AVL have been working [.].
As part of its efforts to go green, Volkswagen is placing a clear emphasis on downsizing as it proved with two new engines at the 30 th Vienna Engine Symposium. Both engines show how Volkswagen reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and fuel consumption. It meets the EU5 exhaust emission standard.
The new Ford B-Max-set to debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show-is to offer emissions from as low as 104g/km CO2, thanks to the use of efficient new engines. Ford say its downsized and optimised engines will mean that its new compact family vehicle will will deliver best in class fuel economy for both in [.].
The HyBoost demonstrator is showcasing the positive effects of engine downsizing by achieving comparable performance to the conventional 2.0litre version of its vehicle (a Ford Focus) while producing fuel economy and CO2 emissions close to those of a Toyota Prius.
A new project has set the ambitious goal of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 30-40 per cent. Known as the HyBoost project, this two-year research programme announced recently by the Technology Strategy Board, aims to demonstrate a cost-effective, ultra-efficient petrol engine in a C-segment passenger car.
However, there are also significant efficiency gains through the downsizing. Its fuel consumption is 30mpg and its emissions are 185g/km of carbon dioxide (CO2). Tags: Fiat Greencars Latest news Fiat Lancia Delta green aars Lancia Delta.
Rapid downsizing, improved fuel economy and simplification of the company’s engine line-up – they are the key elements of Chrysler’s new powertrain strategy.

Weber said that there are still many gains to be made in terms of fuel consumption and CO2 reduction with existing engines and transmissions. “Downsizing is not necessarily about smaller cars,&# he added. He also reveals in the interview that all Mercedes cars will have stop-start systems available.
. “The introduction of a vehicle scrappage scheme as announced in the Budget will boost the new car market, encourage consumers to get back into car showrooms, and reduce the likelihood of employee downsizing in this sector,&# he said. It is senseless to introduce the scheme in such a way.&#.
The compression ratio can then be increased and the resulting higher BMEP levels mean the engine can be downsized at equivalent vehicle performance. Tags: Biofuels Ford Greencars Latest news E85 E85 boosting SAE World Congress.
Thanks to its high efficiency and low mass it will be possible to downsize expensive batteries while maintaining efficiency and range, according to Lotus. Tags: Greencars Latest news Lotus Engineering.
The car maker has lined up three new vehicles to make their debut at the event: the efficient A3 1.2 TFSI: Part of Audi’s philosophy in addressing efficiency is downsizing and so it’s no surprise to see a new turbocharged petrol direct injection 1.2 TFSI; the low-emission A4 3.0TDI; and the S5 Sportback.
Vauxhall will debut an all-new Astra at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 15, with a highly competitive line-up of petrol and diesel engines, alll boasting reductions in CO2 over almost all equivalent models in the current Astra range. litre unit emitting just 129g/km of CO2, and two 1.6-litre litre models and the 1.3-litre
The author however, insists that Mr Obama should be addressing the problem of climate change - but he believes other approaches have more merits and that Mr Obama’s fuel efficiency and CO2 tailpipe regulations should be subjected to rigorous cost-benefit analysis.

In fact, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 20 per cent compared to a conventional petrol engine. The primary benefits delivered by the Ford EcoBoost approach include: optimised engine efficiency – fuel consumption and CO2 emissions reduced by up to 20 per cent. “With the 2.0-litre
They use cheap, clean, and domestic electricity for short trips and daily commutes, displacing or eliminating oil consumption and CO2 pollution. PHEV - These vehicles combine the advantages of both HEV and EV vehicles. Whats all the fuss about "plugging in", what difference does it make?
Before we were saying it will be an awfully long time before we can get the costs down so people can afford it, but actually if you offset the fuel costs, people can afford it." ( GreenCar Congress ). The resulting fuel efficiency improvements mean lower CO2 emissions and less fossil fuel consumption and, therefore, less pollution.
